12) 

To power down the evaluation board, follow the above steps in reverse. 

 

Note: 

When measuring the high frequency content switch node, care must be taken to avoid long 

ground leads. Measure the switch node by placing the oscilloscope probe tip at JP2 and JP3 (designed 
for this purpose). See 

Figure 13 

for proper probe technique. 

PWM signal definition: A 5V amplitude, TTL compatible (i.e., 2.5V offset) rectangular pulse wave 
with a nominally 50% duty cycle, whose pulse width may be increased to 80% (or 5:1 Mark:Space 
ratio) to achieve maximum modulation depth for Class D pulse width modulated switching of the 
Full Bridge. A 50:50 square wave will produce the smallest output because each half of the bridge is 
modulated by an equal and opposite amount.
